20210372665 | FLUE GAS BAFFLE AND MANUFACTURING PROCESS THEREFOR - A flue baffle for a water heater comprises a plurality of holes along a length of the baffle and a plurality of bent blades along the length of the baffle, where each hole of the plurality of holes is adjacent to a bent blade of the plurality of bent blades. The holes are configured to permit flue gas to pass through the holes. The bent blades can have an alternating pattern where a first bent blade extends from one side of the baffle and the next bent blade extends from an opposite side of the baffle. A press tool for forming the baffle comprises a piercing tool for forming the plurality of holes and a lance and fold die for forming the bent blades. | 2021-12-02 |
20210372666 | WATER TANK MOUNTING STRUCTURE FOR VENTILATION TREATMENT APPARATUS AND VENTILATION TREATMENT APPARATUS - A water tank mounting structure and a ventilation treatment apparatus for such structure. The water tank mounting structure comprises a cavity for containing a water tank and a side wall defining the cavity, wherein the side wall comprises an inner side wall spaced apart from an outer side, a first gas hole provided in the inner side wall, and a second gas hole provided in the outer side wall, both holes arranged in a staggered manner perpendicular to the side wall. The arrangement of the double-layer side wall, and the first and second gas holes in the inner and outer side walls, respectively, allows for hot gas in the cavity to be effectively removed. The staggered arrangement of the gas holes allows for water to flow downward along the side wall without invading the cavity when water enters through the second gas hole. A waterproof effect is achieved. | 2021-12-02 |
